@Pradnya.
No. Because since is used for specific time. (means we can differentiate that moment from others).
Like 2005, 2010, 8am. 9pm, here we can understand the exact time/moment/year etc.
But if we say last month. (Here the question rises which month? Is it apr, may or june or dec?)

It could also be "Mr. Praful Patel is not attending his office since last month".

I think C can also be the answer:
for the past one month
for the past one month

If 2nd becomes has not been then option c should be "since the last one month". Not for the last one month. Hence answer is contradictory.

We use has been + verb + ing when something started in past and still persist or going on in present.

The correct option is "C" because the sentence continuity will break : - Mr. Praful Patel is not attending his office from the last one month.
